Barr’s Meat Whistle

Bass Bug

Tied By Darrell Olson

Hook: 90 degree jig hook, Size 2

Thread: Brown 6/0

Materials-

bead: Medium Tungsten Copper Cone

rib: Brassie sized UTC Ultra Wire, Copper Brown

body: Copper Sparkle Braid

wing: Rusty Brown rabbit strip

legs: Pumpkin Barred Sili Legs (2)

flash: Copper Flashabou (Bunch)

collar: Brown Marabou

Notes:

Ensure that the legs are placed with two on each side of the hook shank. Length should be roughly 1/2 inch past the bend of the hook.

Lightly secure the flashabou on top of the hook. Try to spread the flashabou to cover around the shank of the hook. Cut the flashabou at the midpoint of the tail.

I like to tie in the marabou in by the tip and wrap the marabou like a hackle. Tie in by using a whip finish and cut the thread.

Add some head glue to super glue between the collar and the back of the conehead. Push the conehead to the adhesive. Restart the thread in front of the conehead to create a nose. Whip finish and apply head cement.
